The "Gisleham Glory" designation is a modern collector name derived from the Norfolk findspot type — these uninscribed or partially inscribed quarter staters circulated in the territory roughly corresponding to modern Norfolk and Suffolk, a region where metal detector finds have dramatically expanded the known corpus since the 1990s.
